"It's really annoying for me," Curry said Wednesday. "That's not what I'm
playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to
take LeBron's throne or whatever. You know, I'm trying to chase
rings, and that's all I'm about. So that's where the conversation
stops for me."

Curry said his goal is for his team to win, not for there to be
a personal competition between him and James.

"I'm not in the business of ranking or debating who is what,"
Curry added. "At the end of the day it's about winning, and the
fact that we won a championship last year and were the last team
standing, obviously, is what was most important to me."

For the second year in a row, the Cavaliers and Warriors will
match up in the NBA Finals, with Game 1 beginning Thursday
night.
